Seth Meyers took a swipe at Republican
presidential candidate Mike Huckabee during a Late Night
segment on Tuesday's defeat of the LGBT-inclusive Houston Equal
Rights Ordinance (HERO).

HERO “prohibited discrimination in
workplaces, housing, and public accommodations such as bathrooms on
the basis of 15 different characteristics, including race, age and
sexual orientation,” Meyers told his audience in a faux news
segment titled A Closer Look. “But it was gender identity
that opponents had a problem with.”

“Opponents of the law claimed falsely
that the bill would allow anyone of any gender to walk into any
bathroom they wanted.”

“[U]nfortunately, the ads worked, as
one Houston resident told BuzzFeed, 'The only thing that I
heard is that it allows men who dress up like women going into the
ladies room … if a person woke up one day and said, 'I identify as
a woman,' he could just go into the bathroom to see … booty.'”

Meyers mocked the comment, saying that
that was the “five minutes of the day you don't wanna see the
booty. That's when the booty is busy.”

Meyers then moved on to comments
Huckabee made about similar laws.

“Wish that someone told me that when
I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came
time to take showers in PE,” Huckabee told a National Religious
Broadcasters Convention audience earlier this year. “I'm pretty
sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, 'Coach, I
think I'd rather shower with the girls today.'”

“Mike Huckabee, you a creep,”
Meyers responded. “Just to clarify your position, if it had been
legal, you would have gone into the locker room to shower with the
girls and you think they would just stay? Anyway, [if] that sounds
cool to any of you, he's running for president.”
